Big Band Million Sellers - Various Artists

Advantages: His sound will last forever, this cd is a classic
Disadvantages: Nothing about Fats is a disadvantage

...I cannot find a fault with this artist or cd as how can a man as successful as Fats Domino have any dis-advantages. This man has done so much for music, coloured musicians what a talented artist, he rates right up there with Elvis, Big Bopper, Richie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, some of his songs on this cd are better than the artists i have listed above. This man made more than 20 rthymn and blues records that each sold more than a million copies, his total records sales was just over one hundred million. His real name was Antoine Fats Domino and born in New Orleans on 26th Feb 1928. His first ever record was made in 1949 "The Fat Man" and became a gold record in 1953. He played the piano for Lloyd Price's hit "Lawdy Mrs Clawdy" and stared in 4 films "The Girl Can't Help It" // "Shake Rattle N Roll" // "Jamboree... Read review

Advantages: A very solid, mature sounding second album
Disadvantages: Isn't what many fans will have been expecting

...to be some early suggestions of a more diverse sound. And that's exactly what the album delivers. If there was a slight let down on the first album it was the bands musical side of things.

Advantages: That old Quo pick me up riff
Disadvantages: 30 years... one kind of song

...They've sold more than 110 million records worldwide, been around for more than 30 years and are as big an institution as the Queen Mother. Yep, Status Quo - love 'em or loather 'em, they've done it all and here's the latest compilation to prove it. Spread over two CDs and 41 tracks, the first half takes you from 1967s Pictures Of Matchstick Men up to their worthy late 70s peak, while the second bit details their fall to cringeworthy cabaret crap. Forget the haircuts Messers Parfitt and Rossi sported during various stages of the bands career, and the lack of non-12 bar blues based material. They were, and are, the ultimate family band. Overall its a great reminder of what a fine band Quo once were, and that they're not anymore.... Read review
